Dave,
#1 is correct. msmtp was supposed to be included but had to be removed
at the last minute due to problems cross compiling it. They still have
not been fixed.
ssmtp may have to be included as a stopgap measure until this gets
fixed. I am hoping to have something done, one way or the other, by
next week.
